“Resource(s)” when used as a synecdoche for people. This is the one word choice one could use in good faith that I will go to the mattress on.

“TL;DR” is anti-intellectual and demeaning of colleagues.

“Content” auto-commoditizes professional work.
Hmm apparently the phrase is “go to the mats” and the other one is a Godfather reference.

English, how do you work.
“Was that even a synecdoche?”

I mean borderline since it stands for “human resources” but most people who use it probably don’t intend it that way since HR has grown its own meaning.

English, how do you work.
